A Shallow Lake woman is $100-thousand richer.
Betina Jensen won the money playing LOTTO 6/49 Encore on October 21st and says fun in the sun is a top priority with the money
She is a longtime letter carrier and has worked through snow and sleet and rain and it would be nice to have a vacation in the sun right in the middle of a Canadian winter.
“The day after the draw my husband checked our lottery ticket online while I made breakfast,” shared Betina, while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to claim her windfall. “When I brought our food to the table, he whispered in my ear so my son wouldn’t hear. He said, ‘we won the lottery!’ I remember being calm about the whole thing but I think it’s because I was in such shock and disbelief!”
The win comes at a perfect time, Jensen says her and her husband have faced their share of challenges in recent times and this win is a wonderful opportunity to focus on some exciting times ahead
The winning ticket was purchased at Allan’s Mercantile General Store on Princess Street in Shallow Lake.
